MBADiversity Symposium

Dang, it's been a while since posted something on here. The application process is hectic and it doesn't help when projects at work are equally demanding of my attention. Anyways, this past weekend was the MBADiversity Symposium in Chi-Town. The symposium was great. The breakout sessions were informative. The school fair was especially helpful in clarifying what some of my target schools were looking for in their essay questions. All the admissions people were really cool and helpful especially Chicago, Dartmouth, Berkeley and Boston U.

But far and away the best part of the weekend was meeting up with the other MBA hopefuls. What an interesting and intelligent group of people. Everyone had impressive backgrounds. We laughed and exchanged stories and tips. I got a whole bunch of email addresses and business cards. I really hope everyone gets into their school of choice and I wish them all the best. Handle all yuh business!!!! To everybody I met gearing up to take the GMAT, study hard, stay focused and knock that sucker out. Just do it.

On the down side I had signed up to attend a HBS Minority Event on Monday in Chicago but ended up waitlisted. My original plan was to just stay a couple extra days after the symposium. But when by Saturday night I didn't get an email indicating I was off the waitlist I decided to head back home early Sunday morning. Imagine how pissed I was when I got back home and saw an email sent Sunday morning indicating that there was room available for the event. Oh well...I'm planning on making a trip out East in September anyways so I'll have plenty of time to explore HBS.

Anyways it's like 11:30 and yuh boy need some sleep so 'til next time...
